Compensating the Losers: An Examination of Congressional Votes on Trade Adjustment
Assistance1
Stephanie J. Rickard
London School of Economics
Globalization intensifies political conflict between citizens whose circumstances improve from
foreign trade and those whose lives deteriorate as a result of trade. To pacify these rival interests,
governments may assist citizens that become unemployed due to trade. When and under what
conditions will legislators fund such assistance programs? The current study addresses this
question by examining Congressional roll call votes in the United States during a period of rapid
economic integration (1980-2004). The analysis reveals that pro-trade legislators who represent
relatively more exporters are more likely to vote for increased spending on Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) programs. Exporters and their elected representative arguably support such
expenditures to reduce opposition to freer trade and broaden the pro-trade coalition.

Globalization engenders political conflict. Some citizens benefit from integrated global
markets. Yet, others see their circumstances deteriorate as a result of foreign trade. Democratically
elected governments thus find themselves in a difficult position. On one hand, elected leaders face
pressures to liberalize trade to appease citizens who stand to gain from it. On the other hand,
leaders face protectionist demands from citizens that stand to lose from liberalization. Given these
competing pressures, what options are available to democratic governments?
In theory, governments can pacify these conflicting interests. Winners from trade can
afford to compensate the losers and still be better off than they would be in a closed economy,
according to canonical models of international trade. Governments could tax citizens that gain
from trade and use these revenues to compensate citizens for trade-induced losses. Survey research
demonstrates that such compensation schemes can reduce individuals’ opposition to free trade.
Yet, an important question remains unanswered: when and under what conditions do legislators
provide trade-related compensation? This question motivates the current study.
Legislative activity in the United States, one of the world’s largest trading nations, is
examined during a period of rapid economic integration (1980-2004). Roll call votes are used to
identify legislators who support both trade liberalization and spending on programs that assist
citizens who become unemployed as a result of trade. Analyses of roll call votes show that pro-
trade legislators are more likely to support spending on Trade Adjustment Assistance programs
when a larger proportion of their constituents are exporters. Exporters and their elected
representative arguably support such expenditures in an attempt to reduce opposition to free trade
and broaden the pro-trade coalition.
This finding points to the importance of a policy bundle, described by Senator Coleman
(R-Minnesota) as, “the expansion of trade while meeting the needs of those workers who are
3
negatively impacted” (US Congress 3 May 2004, S4756). This policy bundle, frequently referred
to as either embedded liberalism or the compensation hypothesis, was initially described by Ruggie
(1982). He argued that the move towards free trade following World War II was facilitated by a
change in government policy that provided compensation, via increased government spending, to
those harmed by trade. Ruggie’s insight launched a new research agenda – one that subsequently
inspired a vast number of studies of the empirical relationship between international trade and
governmental spending.2
The current study differs from the myriad previous studies in three important ways. First,
early studies examine the effects of trade on aggregate government expenditures. Studies that find
a positive correlation between trade and total spending interpret this as evidence that governments
invest more resources in compensating citizens for trade-induced losses following an increase in
trade. Yet, most government spending has little, if anything, to do with trade-related compensation.
Even social welfare spending, for example, assists many vulnerable citizens, not just those for
whom trade has a negative impact (Burgoon 2001). Thus, the inferences drawn about
governments’ trade-induced motives are difficult to substantiate using general spending
measures.3 In contrast, the current study focuses on a spending program specifically designed to
compensate citizens for trade-induced losses, namely Trade Adjustment Assistance.
2 For a review of this literature, see Hays (2009).
3 It is possible, of course, that general spending programs might have disproportionately larger
impacts in areas that are adversely affected by trade shocks. Evidence of this could be recovered
by statistical means. An insightful reviewer pointed out this possibility, which suggests a
potentially fruitful strategy for future research.

The United States’ Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program was established in the
Trade Act of 1974. TAA programs provide assistance to workers who lose their jobs or experience
a reduction in their working hours or wages due to increased imports. Workers may be eligible for
cash benefits, job training, health care tax credits, job search assistance, relocation allowances,
income support, and other reemployment services through TAA programs. Wage insurance is also
provided under certain circumstances.4 Trade Adjustment Assistance provides precisely the type
of assistance envisaged by embedded liberalism; it targets help directly to those citizens made
worse off by trade. The current study thus offers an improvement over earlier studies by examining
spending on TAA programs rather than aggregate government spending or general budget items.
Second, many previous studies assume that trade liberalization is exogenously determined
and take, as given, countries’ exposure to foreign trade.5 However, governments purposefully act
to set tariff rates, decide to join international trade agreements (or not), impose regulations and
enact other policies that act as non-tariff barriers to trade. In some countries, these policy decisions
are made by the legislature. In the United States, for example, legislators vote on bills that increase
or decrease the exposure of the national economy to competition from foreign goods and services.
4 Although the primary focus of TAA programs is displaced workers, the program also includes
some provisions for aiding firms and communities harmed by trade (Baicker and Rehavi, 2004).
For example, the Department of Commerce established 12 regional TAA Centers in 1978 to help
firms with the TAA petitions and to help them develop business plans for dealing with increased
international competition. Firms whose business plans were approved were eligible for matching
funds of up to $75,000.
5 See Adsera and Boix (2002) for an excellent discussion of this point.
5
Using roll call votes, the current study examines when and under what conditions legislators who
vote to liberalize trade policy also support trade-related compensation. In this way, the current
study takes a step towards “endogenizing” trade policy.
Third, more recent studies of trade and spending tend to analyze individual-level survey
data (for example, Hays, Ehrlich and Peinhardt 2005; Margalit 2012).6 While instructive,
individual-level studies can only provide indirect evidence of the propensity of governments and
parliaments to compensate citizens for the costs of trade. Furthermore, individual citizens need
not realize the importance of TAA programs for maintaining support for free trade in order for
the embedded liberalism thesis to hold (Ehrlich 2010). Legislators may bundle together
liberalization and compensation as a rational response to the competing demands they face. In
fact, the embedded liberalism thesis was originally conceived of as a supply side story.
Governments were thought to have recognized the importance of combining liberalization with
compensation following the collapse of the gold standard and the interwar global economy
(Ruggie 1982). The current study provides one of the first direct tests of the supply side of the
embedded liberalism thesis by investigating pro-trade legislators’ votes on TAA funding.7
6 Margalit (2011) investigates individual-level voting behavior.
7 In a related study, Brian Burgoon (2012) investigates parties’ manifestos for evidence of
support for trade-related compensation. In this way, Burgoon also moves away from individual-
level studies towards an investigation of the supply side of compensation programs, as in the
current study.

EXPLAINING TAA VOTES
At times, legislators have the opportunity to decide whether or not to increase spending on
Trade Adjustment Assistance programs. TAA programs are specifically designed to help workers
that become unemployed as a result of foreign trade. A vast majority (70%) of legislators that vote
against trade liberalization also vote to increase spending on TAA programs. These legislators seek
to protect their constituents by voting against liberalization. As a second line of defense, they also
vote to fund TAA programs that will help workers who become unemployed due to trade. This
pattern is not surprising. However, the pattern of support for TAA funding amongst pro-trade
legislators is puzzling.
Legislators that vote to liberalize trade barriers are evenly split over TAA funding
increases; 50 percent of “pro-trade” legislators vote to increase TAA funding while 50 percent
vote against TAA funding increases. Which pro-trade legislators support increased TAA funding
and why? This question is the central motivation for the current study.8
The “compensation hypothesis”, which derives from the logic of embedded liberalism,
posits that governments increase spending to offset the costs of trade liberalization. Governments
are believed to increase expenditures to avert a backlash against freer trade. This logic implies that
8 The focus on pro-trade legislators is also justifiable theoretically. Canonical models of trade
illustrate that the winners from trade can compensation the losers from trade and still be better
off from freer trade. This prediction suggests that it is precisely the pro-trade constituents and
their representatives that should support TAA spending. Also, from a policy standpoint, it is the
pro-trade senators who matter for getting TAA funding increases passed as there many more pro-
trade senators than anti-trade ones.
7
legislators representing more trade winners will be more likely to vote for TAA spending.
Arguably, such legislators support TAA funding in an attempt to minimize opposition to free trade,
not only in their own districts, but also more broadly. Legislators who place the highest value on
broadening the pro-trade coalition are most likely to vote for TAA funding increases. For example,
Senator Baucus (D-Montana), when speaking in favor of increased TAA funding, said trade-
related compensation “can make an important difference in public attitudes. Surveys show that
most American feel a lot more comfortable with globalization, off-shoring and trade when they
know they will get help if their jobs are threatened” (US Congress 29 April 2004:4680). Similarly,
Senator Grassley (R-Iowa) acknowledged public support for free trade as a key reason to vote for
TAA funding. Speaking in favor of extending trade-related compensation to farmers in the 2002
Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act, Grassley said, “I am very concerned that if we lose
(farm) support for free trade it will be very hard for us to win Congressional support for new trade
deals when they are concluded” (US Congress 3 May 2004:4757). In short, pro-trade legislators
support trade-related compensation programs, such as TAA, in order to broaden the pro-trade
coalition and minimize opposition to current and future liberalization.
TAA programs can help make trade liberalization politically viable. The promise of
increased spending on trade-related compensation secured the passage of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (Baicker and Rehavi 2004).9 Increased spending on trade-related
9 Congress agreed to fund a program called NAFTA Transition Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA
TAA) in an attempt to secure the number of votes needed to pass NAFTA. This aim of NAFTA
TAA was to provide financial assistance to workers displaced by trade with Canada and/or
8
compensation also helped to secure the votes needed to renew fast track authority for the Bush
administration in 2002 (Baicker and Rehavi 2004).10 Senator Nickles (R-Oklahoma) stated that the
amendment promising increased spending on trade-related compensation programs was “added to
the fast-track promotion bill to encourage people to vote for it” (US Congress 4 May 2004:4817).
This anecdotal evidence suggests that the legislators who place the greatest value on
broadening the pro-trade coalition are precisely those legislators most likely to vote for TAA
funding increases. Legislators’ roll call votes are analyzed in the following section to investigate
this possibility.
SAMPLE AND DEPENDENT VARIABLE
The universe of clean Senate votes on TAA funding is identified for the period from 1980
to 2004. Five clean, competitive roll call votes on funding for Trade Adjustment Assistance
occurred during this period.11 These votes are “clean” in the sense that a vote for or against captures
a legislator’s position on increasing funding for TAA programs (Broz 2008; Broz and Hawes
2006). To ensure that a vote reflects only a legislator’s inclination toward trade-related
Mexico. It also promised assistance to workers displaced by plant relocations to Mexico (Baicker
and Rehavi, 2004).
10 Fast track negotiating authority allows the President of the United States to negotiate trade
agreements that Congress can then only approve or disapprove (that is, they cannot amend or
filibuster).
11 Competitive votes are defined as votes for which at least 10 percent of the votes are in
opposition to the majority.
9
compensation spending, votes containing issues other than TAA funding are excluded.12 Table 1
details each of the five TAA votes.
Clean, competitive votes on trade policy that occur in the same or consecutive Congress as
the TAA votes are then identified. This strategy ensures that the same legislators, representing the
same constituents, vote on both trade policy and TAA spending. Following Milner and Tingley
(2011), procedural votes and ‘sense of Congress’ votes are excluded and thus only those votes that
had clear consequences for US trade policy are examined. Noncompetitive votes are also excluded
from the sample. Using these criteria, four clean trade policy votes occurring in the same or
consecutive Congress as the TAA votes are identified. Table 2 provides detailed information
regarding the trade policy votes.
Table 3 reports the four vote pairs analyzed in the current study. Votes on trade policy are
used to identify the sample of pro-free trade senators. Votes on TAA funding are then used to
identify which pro-trade senators vote to increase TAA spending.13 Vote-pairs are pooled together
to provide a reasonable sample size.
12 TAA funding is often included in large omnibus spending bills, which makes it difficult to
isolate legislator positions’ on TAA funding. It is for this reason that so few clean TAA funding
votes exist during the period under investigation.
13 Although the paired votes occurred in the same or consecutive congresses, none were
explicitly bundled together in the legislative process and some votes occurred further apart than
others. The exact dates of each vote are reported in Tables 1 and 2. This selection criteria sets up
a difficult test of the potential connection between liberalization and compensation. If the votes
were explicitly bundled or occurred very close together, then vote-trading would be likely. Pro-

MEASURING CONSTITUENTS’ ECONOMIC INTERESTS
Two well-established theories are used to identify citizens’ economic interests. The first,
the Stolper-Samuelson theorem (1941), demonstrates that trade increases real returns for owners
of the factor of production with which the country’s economy is relatively abundantly endowed.14
In contrast, trade reduces real returns for owners of the scarce factor of production. In the United
States, high-skilled labor is relatively abundant during the period under investigation and thus
high-skilled workers are expected to win from trade.
Census data on citizens’ occupations are used to estimate the number of high-skilled
workers in a state. Some occupations are characterized by high skill, including, for example,,
executive, managerial, administrative and professional occupations (Bailey 2001; Milner and
Tingley 2011). The percentage of a state’s population employed in these occupations is thus used
to construct the first measure of factor-based trade winners (Skill). A second proxy for the number
of factor-based trade winners is the percentage of a state’s population with four or more years of
college education (Education). Both variables, frequently used in previous studies, estimate the
number of highly skilled workers in a given US state (for example, Bailey 2001; Broz 2008; Katz
trade legislators may, for example, promise to vote for trade-related compensation in order to
secure the votes needed to pass trade liberalization. The interesting question is whether such log-
rolls occur when liberalization and compensation are not explicitly bundled together and/or when
these votes occur months (or even years) apart. In other words, the research design sets up a
difficult test of the proposed hypothesis.
14 In this model, perfect mobility of factors is assumed. This assures that trade affects owners of
a given factor in the same way no matter where they are employed in the economy.
11
and Murphy 1992). Since the variables Skill and Education are alternative measures for the same
concept (that is, factor-based economic interests) they do not enter the estimated models
simultaneously.
The Ricardo-Viner model demonstrates that the income effects of trade are industry-
specific when factors are immobile between industries within an economy (Hiscox 2002; Jones
1971.15 Factors employed in export industries receive a real increase in returns due to trade and
therefore support trade liberalization. In contrast, factors employed in import-competing industries
lose from trade in real terms.
The relative number of industry-based trade winners in a given US state is calculated by
the percentage of a state’s population employed in net export industries (Exporters). Net export
industries are defined as two-digit SIC manufacturing sectors where the ratio of revenues from
exports to total industry revenue is greater than the ratio of imports to consumption.16 A similar
15 A large literature focuses on which of these models best predict the distributive effects of
trade. See Hiscox (2002) for an outline of this debate.
16 These ratios are provided by Campa and Goldberg (1999) for three time periods: 1975, 1985,
1995. Following Broz (2008), the sample closest to each vote is used to assemble the data. In
1975, net export industries were Tobacco 21, Textiles 22, Lumber 24, Printing 27, Chemicals 28,
Fabricated metals 34, Industrial machinery 35, Electronic equipment 36, Transportation
equipment 37, and Instruments 38. In 1985, net export industries were Tobacco 21, Chemicals
28, Industrial machinery 35, and Instruments 38. In 1995, net export industries were Food 20,
Tobacco 21, Printing 27, Chemicals 28, and Instruments 38. The source for industry employment
is the County Business Patterns, Bureau of the Census.
12
calculation identifies the percentage of a state’s population employed in net import industries
(Importers). According to the Ricardo-Viner model, the variable Importers captures the number
of citizens incurring losses from trade in a given state. Exporters and Importers measure different
concepts of interest and can therefore be entered simultaneously into the estimated models, as is
increasingly standard practice (see, for example, Fordham and McKeown 2003).
Previous studies of trade legislation demonstrated that despite the relatively low level of
party discipline in the United States, a legislator’s party affiliation is a robust predictor of their
votes on trade policy (Hiscox 2002; Ladewig 2006). All estimated models therefore include the
variable Party, which is coded, 1 for Democrats and 0 for Republicans.
RESULTS
Table 4 reports the coefficient estimates for logit regression models where the dependent
variable equals 1 if a pro-trade senator voted to increase funding for TAA programs and 0 if they
voted against TAA spending increases. Pro-trade senators are more likely to vote for increased
TAA funding when they represent relatively more exporters. On average, an increase in the
variable Exporters of one standard deviation over its mean value corresponds with a five
percentage point increase in the probability that a pro-trade senator votes for increased TAA
funding. In short, more exporters equal greater support for TAA funding. Yet, exporters do not
directly benefit from TAA programs. They are unlikely to become unemployed because of trade
and therefore do not qualify for assistance under the TAA criteria. Instead, exporters benefit
indirectly from TAA spending. Exporters and their elected representative arguably support TAA
spending to reduce opposition to free trade.
The industry-based measure of trade winners (that is, exporters) is a better predictor of
TAA votes than factor-based measures of trade winners. The estimated coefficients for Skill and
13
Education are consistently insignificant. Senators representing relatively more factor-based
winners (that is, more highly-educated/highly-skilled voters) are no more likely to vote for TAA
spending. These findings speak to the debate over which model of trade best describes the politics
surrounding modern-day trade legislation: Stopler-Samuelson or Ricardo-Viner (for example,
Destler 1995; Fordham and McKeown 2003; Hiscox 2002; Lowi 1964). The evidence reported
here comes down squarely on the side of the Ricardo-Viner model. Industry-based interests are a
better predictor of TAA votes than factor-based interests. Industry-based models of trade may
perform better in recent decades due to increased adjustment costs and factor specificity, as
hypothesized by Hiscox (2002).
The null findings for the variables Skill and Education are also consistent with research
that finds highly-educated citizens support trade liberalization for reasons other than economic
self-interest. Hainmueller and Hiscox (2006) argue that college educated voters support trade
openness because of their exposure to economic ideas about the overall efficiency gains from trade.
Although economic literacy may lead to increased support for trade, it may not generate similar
support for trade-related compensation. Voters that support trade openness for ideational reasons
may be unwilling to support TAA spending. If citizens’ support for trade openness is not motivated
by economic self-interest, they have few incentives to pay for trade-related compensation. In other
words, voters who support trade openness for ideational reasons may not be willing to “back up”
their ideals financially, which may explain why pro-trade senators from states with relatively more
14
college educated voters are no more likely to vote for increased TAA spending.17 In contrast, pro-
trade senators from states with relatively more industry-specific trade winners (that is, exporters)
are significantly more likely to vote for TAA funding increases.
Pro-trade senators who represent relatively more industry-based trade losers (that is,
importers) are less likely to vote for TAA funding increases. Why would senators vote against
trade-related compensation when some of their constituents could benefit from TAA programs?18
One possible explanation is that large numbers of exporters are needed to generate sufficient
demand for free trade in order to motivate senators to fund TAA programs. In other words, senators
who place the highest value on broadening the pro-trade coalition are the ones most likely to vote
for TAA funding.19 A senator attaches more value to strengthening the pro-trade coalition when
17 This suggestion is, of course, purely speculative at this point. Future studies could investigate
its’ empirical validity by explicitly examining the effects of university education on attitudes
towards TAA spending.
18 Recall that the sample includes only senators who voted for trade liberalization. Senators
representing states dominated by trade losers are unlikely to be in the sample because they voted
against trade liberalization in the first place.
19 An alternative explanation lies in the potential importance of non-traded good producers. The
empirical models explicitly measure employment in exporting and import-competing industries,
but employment in non-tradable industries is only implicit. Controlling for exporting activity,
relatively more import-competing activity implies relatively less non-trade goods production.
Non-traded goods producers and employees by definition have little interest in trade policy and,
15
their state is dominated by exporting industries. Senators representing fewer exporters have
relatively less interest in the pro-trade coalition and thus may be less willing to support TAA
funding.
Party is a robust predictor of TAA votes. Democrats are more likely to vote for TAA
funding, as compared to Republicans, holding all else equal. This result is consistent with other
studies of roll call voting on both distributive spending programs and trade policy (for example,
Garrett 1998; Hiscox 2002; Ladewig 2006). Interestingly, however, the results reported here
suggest that even Republicans, who often oppose spending increases, are willing to support
increased TAA funding when a substantial portion of their constituents stand to gain from trade.
As Senator Wilson, a Republican from California made clear on the floor of the chamber:
“…the high cost of protectionism is inevitably the result of efforts to protect jobs in selected
industries. It is an effort I well understand and with which I have sympathy. That is why…I
supported the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act in its provisions to assist those who suffer
hardship because the industry of which they are a member and in which they are employed
ceases to be competitive” (US Congress 16 July 1990:S9770).
Similarly, Senator Chafee, a Republican from Rhode Island, said:
“…I understand that the footwear industry has suffered employment losses, and any
significant employment loss to a U.S. industry is a cause of concern to every one of us.
That is why we have done something about it. We recognized that in the highly competitive
world there are some areas that we are going to be able to compete in successfully and
in fact, have a consumer’s interest in favour of trade liberalization. Thank you to an insightful
reviewer for pointing out this possibility.
16
some areas less successfully. So we have set up these safety nets, if you would, the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Program…...to help individuals who have lost their jobs because of
foreign competition” (US Congress 16 July 1990:9799).
In sum, even Republicans are willing to vote for increased spending when it is designed to
compensate citizens for their trade-induced losses and a large number of their constituents stand
to gain from freer trade.
CONCLUSION
The current study presents evidence that governments purposefully increase expenditures
to off-set the costs of international trade. While governments in countries with open economies
are widely believed to spend more, few studies actually examine governments’ purposeful
spending decisions. In contrast, the current study examines paired roll call votes on trade policy
and spending on Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) in the United States during the period from
1980 to 2004. The results show that pro-trade legislators are more likely to support increased TAA
funding when a larger proportion of their constituents stand to gain from trade. Specifically, pro-
trade legislators representing relatively more exporters are more likely to vote for increased TAA
spending, even though exporters themselves do not benefit directly from TAA programs. Instead,
exporters and their elected representatives arguably support such spending increases to minimize
domestic opposition to free trade.
This finding suggests that the concurrent upward trends in trade openness and
governmental spending may be causally related. The global rush to free trade has been
accompanied by a corresponding increase in government spending, especially in developed
countries (Kono 2011; Rickard 2012; Rodrik 1998). Previous studies argue that these two
17
concurrent trends are causally related.20 However, the current study is the first to examine
legislators’ contemporaneous decisions on trade openness and government spending. Pro-trade
legislators vote to increase spending on TAA programs when they represent a large number of
industry-specific trade winners. This finding suggests that a causal relationship may, in fact, exist
between trade and government spending. Additional studies of the supply side of trade-induced
spending increases are needed. Yet, this study takes an important first step in moving beyond
simple correlations between trade flows and spending levels by focusing instead on governments’
decisions regarding trade policy and trade-related compensation spending.
